Rack requirements
HP supports the HP System E racks and the HP 10000 Series racks for use with the SKM. Other racks
might also be suitable, but have not been tested with the SKM.
NOTE:
If desired, when installing an SKM expansion unit, place it in a different rack from the other SKM
appliances as far away from each other as possible to minimize the chance that they will both be
disabled by the same physical or electrical event.
